Well, it looks great!
And Michelle Williams looks exactly like Spielberg’s mom!

The monkey anecdote was also in the documentary! Spielberg’s eccentric mom really bought a monkey and he says he and his siblings were terrified by it!

Film Twitter is so idiotic! “Probably”. Spielberg was indeed very angry at his father for years but the dramatic part of his story is that he later discovered he was actually a very decent guy who sacrificed his reputation in his son’s eyes to protect him and his family and that his magical mother wasn’t THAT perfect as he always thought. We have to wait how he portrays this but it’s not a straightforwardly moral story about the good and the bad parent and I guess it sounds interesting to me because it kinda talks about growing up and discovering and accepting that your parents are complex creatures like all human being are! He and his family were very open in that documentary!

We shall see, I suppose, but I (knowing nothing at all about this movie), had no clue what the trailer was about. To me it seems to reek of self importance. 😬

I don't think the trailer looks great, on the contrary. If it wasn't a Spielberg movie I wouldn't watch it going by the trailer.
I don't know about the self importance part though. It's just a coming of age story (and I'm not a fan of them).
People in the comments saying they cried over this trailer! I have no heart, I think. Lol.

I really liked the early shot of the train. I think it’s just stunning! Probably a reference to L'arrivée d'un train story/legend. Was it sentimental after that? Sure! But that’s Spielberg! Lol After that shot, I just wanted to watched it! I just think it looks great.

This review is objective and not a rave but very well written, www.indiewire.com/2022/09/the-fabelmans-review-1234760956/I personally just think it’s amazing to discover that movies like ET and Close Encounters of the Third Kind were autobiographical and not just really well made fantasy films! My parents never divorced so I didn’t have that experience but I remember how it was described as something very common in the USA at the time he made those films and learning that it was very deeply personal things to him and not just some narrative tool based on some cynical market idea, it was shocking to me. He really was an auteur talking about his own experience even when his movies were extremely populist! That’s why I think it sounds more interesting than the more artistic film by Gonzalez Inarritu. I always have feel that he is kinda a poseur and superficial but someone such mainstream like Spielberg was really talking about himself even when he was doing kiddies movies and franchises! He is more sincere even when he is extremely mainstream!
